Testing of the PREPP (Process Experimental Pilot Plant) rotary kiln for waste incineration
The Process Experimental Pilot Plant (PREPP) rotary kiln incinerator was constructed at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL) to process transuranically contaminated waste stored at the INEL. To meet Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) requirements, instrumentation changes and ventilation system modifications were necessitated required. The impact of the modifications necessary to meet these RCRA regulations are discussed. The incinerator is now undergoing its third thermally hot nonradioactive test series. A first test series identified necessary off-gas system modifications results are presented. During a second test series, data were obtained on the system components which limit waste processing capacity. Accomplished and planned modifications resulting from this information are presented. An RCRA trial burn plan has been developed. The trial burn will use the most-difficult-to-destroy organic compounds in the anticipated PREPP feed stream and the highest expected solid feed rate. 8 figs.
